What are Gram-force sq. Centimeter and Torr

Gram-force per square centimeter (gf·cm²) is a unit of pressure. It represents the force of one gram-force applied over an area of one square centimeter. This measurement is a part of the centimeter-gram-second (CGS) system and is used to quantify small pressure values in scientific contexts.

Torr is a unit of pressure based on an absolute scale. Named after Evangelista Torricelli, it is defined as 1/760 of a standard atmosphere, approximately equal to the pressure exerted by a millimeter of mercury (mmHg). Torr is commonly used in vacuum measurements and barometric pressure readings.

History of Gram-force sq. Centimeter and Torr

The Gram-force sq. Centimeter to Torr Converter stems from the need to convert between the CGS system's pressure unit (gf·cm²) and the unit Torr, commonly used to express vacuum levels. Over time, this conversion has become essential in various scientific applications where precise pressure readings are critical.
